I'm happy to announce the semi-retirement of my old computer and the introduction of my new rig. I've been upgrading the same rig for some time and decided it needed to be retired to a media server. It will soon be running PLEX and streaming all kinds of fun content all over my house. To take over all my work and video game duty I have built the new, shiny computer seen below. Starting with the hardware: https://pcpartpicker.com/l

[quote]Suppose instead the player could set a price of water, and if the price of water goes above that number, it will be sold until water's price has fallen again to the ceiling that player has defined, at which point the automatic selling would stop. [/quote] I really like this. Something similar was used in the Stronghold series.

The initial number released by people in the tech industry was exaggerated from everything I've seen. Of course this makes better articles and generally gets more clicks. The world we live in... I'm partial to AMD myself, but even with that I won't sing doom and gloom for Intel. Exploits are part of the advanced tech we use every day. The important part is how companies handle these exploits and how quickly they are corrected with minimal impact.

Out of curiosity, do you have any antivirus or firewall software? If so try disabling it and running the games. On another note, after upgrading my Windows 7 to Windows 10 I had a variety of problems as time went on. I ended up having to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my computer. Hopefully your situation doesn't come to that.

[quote who="adrainsmith" reply="1" id="3699300"] doesn't always hit the perfect note but you have to give it chops for trying to do something a little different, and eschewing genre conventions. It's just too bloody long. [/quote] Yea I can agree with that after watching the whole season. I did like that it was grittier than the other Marvel o

[quote quoting="post"] I always zoom in and out with the mouse wheel. But that moves in fairly big steps, and I've often wished for finer control. --> Is there any way to zoom completely smoothly i.e. not in resolution steps? --> Is there any way to zoom other than the mouse wheel? Thx [/quote] Are you seeing framerate drops when you zoom? It may explain the "steps" you are seeing.

[quote quoting="post"] Been a while since i last played, i used to be able to form an army and be able to place an order for units and they would come to my army. Has this been removed?

[quote who="RagerX_" reply="12" id="3698258"] No problem, thanks. I never used Discord before. I finally found Star Control, but I can't post. I tried to add Frogboy as a friend since he was easy to add. Let me know if I'm doing the wrong thing. Thanks again!

I'm looking forward to playing around with Quantum Break. The Long Dark is a pretty solid survival game. I've been playing it for a long time. DoW3 I don't care much about. I am a huge 40K fan and loved Dow 1&2, but Relic killed everything DoW3 was supposed to be. I pre-ordered the game and everything. A few days before release I saw some early footage and cancelled it. Boy am I glad. Relic screwed the game up royally. I played the free weekend a while back and refused to buy it at even 5
